Capturing emotions and
moments as they unfold.

Documentary-style photographer covering Hampshire, Surrey and West Sussex weddings.

Authentic documentary-style photography captures genuine emotions, interactions, and unscripted moments as they unfold naturally throughout your wedding day. This approach results in wedding photographs with emotional depth, creating a deeper connection to the memories of your wedding day. Relive those special moments exactly as they happened.

Unposed, natural, beautiful wedding photography.

  • Personal and unobtrusive approach

    You’ve planned your day and a photographer shouldn’t get in the way of it. I simply blend in and capture those special moments without fuss. Think of me as another guest with a camera.

  • Candid, unscripted style

    Documentary wedding photography is a style that focuses on capturing candid and unposed moments during a wedding. It tells the genuine story of the day, emphasising natural emotions, spontaneous interactions, and the true atmosphere, rather than traditional staged shots.

  • Relaxed, enjoyable and fun

    The fun in a wedding comes from the combination of love, celebration, shared moments, and the coming together of friends and family in a joyous atmosphere. Capturing these special moments through the lens, will create lasting memories for you and you loved ones to relive the joyous occasion.
